Men's Curling Winter Olympics 2026 Latest: When Bruce Mouat plays next, odds, schedule, results, rules - how to watch
It’s looking like a nerve-wracking last two games for the Team GB Men’s Curling Team.
There was heartbreak at the Winter Olympics earlier this week as Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds failed to win a medal after losing their Bronze Medal Match in the mixed doubles to Italy.

But there are still two more chances for Scotland’s curlers to appear on the podium, with both the men’s and the women’s competitions still to be played.
Bruce Mouat’s men’s team started their campaign with back-to-back wins against China and Sweden, before coming unstuck with a narrow 7-9 loss to Italy on Friday.
Over the weekend they won two and lost one - against Czechia, Germany and Switzerland respectively.
But today (Monday) they lost a tight game against Norway 6-7.
It puts them fifth in the table, one spot off a semi-final spot, with two games to play.

What is the format of the Men’s Curling at the Winter Olympics 2026?
It’s a pretty simple format to find out who will win gold, silver and bronze. All the teams will play each other (so that’s nine matches in total for each team), then the top four teams in the table at the end of the round robin will go through to the semi-finals.
The two winning teams from the semi-finals go on the the gold medal game and the two losers will contest the bronze medal game.
How can I watch the Men’s Curling at the 2026 Winter Olympics?
All the action will be available to watch on the BBC - with coverage across BBC One, BBC Two, the iPlayer and the Red Button.
What are the rules of curling?
In each end of curling each team plays a total of eight shots, with each player delivering two stones in succession, starting with the lead and ending with the skip.
At the completion of each end the number of stones closest to the ‘button’ (the bullseye) of the house will score.
The stone closest to the button effectively wins the end, with any further stones closer to the centre than the opposition’s best shot also counting – meaning it is possible, but highly unlikely, to get a maximum of eight shots in a single end (an eight-ender, which is curling’s version of golf’s hole in one).
After ten ends the team with most shots in total wins, while if the game is tied it will go to an 11th sudden death end.
